Series: Kate Burkholder Series, 6

Everyone in Painters Mill knows the abandoned Hochstetler farm is
haunted. But only a handful of the residents remember the terrible
secrets lost in the muted/hushed whispers of time-and now death is
stalking them, seemingly from the grave. On a late-night shift,
Chief of Police Kate Burkholder is called to the scene of an
apparent suicide-an old man found hanging from the rafters in his
dilapidated barn. But evidence quickly points to murder and Kate
finds herself chasing a singularly difficult and elusive trail of
evidence that somehow points back to the tragedy of that long ago
incident. Meanwhile, Kate has moved in with state agent John
Tomasetti and for the first time in so long, they're both happy; a
bliss quickly shattered when one of the men responsible for the
murders of Tomasetti's family four years ago is found not guilty,
and walks away a free man. Will Tomasetti be pulled back to his own
haunted past? When a second man is found dead-also seemingly by his
own hand-Kate discovers a link in the case that sends the
investigation in a direction no one could imagine and revealing the
horrifying truth of what really happened that terrible night
thirty-five years ago, when an Amish father and his four children
perished-and his young wife disappeared without a trace. And, as
Kate knows-the past never truly dies ...in The Dead Will Tell by
Linda Castillo ...
